92pts James Suckling

Smoky cherry, flower and spice notes. Fine, creamy tannins pair very well with its juicy fruit. Fresh and pretty crunchy in nature. Shows fruit vibrancy, but this is also serious, with a pretty intense finish. Field blend based on tempranillo. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes

It displays pure and intense primary aromas of dark cherries and black berries with a hint of violet and clove. Medium-bodied, with notable complexity and fruit concentration. The quality of the fruit shines through, displaying the typical character of Rioja Alavesa's cooler climate, unmasked by excessive oak aging. The intensity of the fruit is balanced by acidity, chalky tannins, and a long, mineral finish.

About the Wine

Las Parcelas Tinto comes from a selection of vineyards and plots, with an average age of 50 years, which produce wines of remarkable complexity and length, reflecting the age of their vines. Depending on the vintage, the wines mature for the necessary time in the winery, using a combination of stainless steel, concrete tanks, new and used large-format barrels, and wooden vats. Bideona aims to clearly express the character of Tempranillo without fermentation aromas or excessive use of wood.
